But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,

Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.For the Scripture says,“ You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and,“ The laborer is worthy of his wages.”

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.

that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us.

but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.

For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you—

“ And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,‘ These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.“ To the angel of the church of Ephesus write,‘ These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

“ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,‘ These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:

“ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,‘ These things says He who is holy, He who is true,“ He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”:

Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

“ And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,‘ These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword:

After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.Then He said to them,“ The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

Are they ministers of Christ?— I speak as a fool— I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops.

Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

“ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,‘ These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life:

I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said,‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

“ And to the angel of the church in Sardis write,‘ These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars:“ I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;

I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.

Then He said to His disciples,“ The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.

And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.

Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.
